How about rolled back to levels of 10 years ago and frozen there for an additional 10 years?

perhaps they’d get a bigger bang for the buck if they froze WELFARE benefits. I’d rather freeze the unproductive, than those whose labor I depend upon.

Why are all these politicians talking about freezes when numbers and compensation for state workers are at an all time high everywhere?

We don't need a freeze. We need a meltdown.

ML/NJ

If three’s good, six must be better.

from the article: “State workers [already]agreed to furloughs and wage concessions [back in july 2009] to help balance the current state budget. Rosenstein said the concessions saved the state $450 million and included an 18-month deferral of a negotiated 3.5 percent pay raise now due July 1 2010.” I can confirm this as a fact.

Note that the article states this politician wants to do this to avoid having to lay off teachers. Cut the bloat there as well, including their pensions—which are also funded by the state, when it feels like it wants to pay into the any of the 3 pension funds [public employee, teacher, firemen/police are all treated differently pension-wise].

I’d like to see all the politicians, including Senate Majority leader/chief Freeloader (freeholder)of Gloucester County/union exec Sweeney vote to allow themselves to only one pension, instead of getting 3.
